# allocPool - A simple & high performance object pool using modern C++

This is allocPool, a pool of objects in a single header file that allow you to 
avoid expensive allocations during runtime. This preallocates objects in the 
constructor (with threads) then offers you two functions: `getPtr()` and `returnPtr(ptr)`.

Using C++ concepts, we can use templates and require the class given to have a
default constructor and to have a .reset() function. It will be used to clean the
objects before giving them to another caller.

This pool uses a hashmap and a pivot to make returnPtr(ptr) extremely fast.

It will automatically grow when the max capacity is reached, though there will
be a performance penalty.

## Performance
With a simple stub class and a pool of 10000 objects, using the pool to take a pointer 
and give it back takes 3 ms vs 19 ms when allocating and deallocating by hand.
```
class stub {
public:
    stub() {
        for (int j{}; j < 1000; j++) { i++; }
    };
    void reset() {}

private:
    int i = 15;
};
```
